Annandale notes
Freezers in Annandale basements
A chest freezer is one of the simplest appliances in the house: a compressor, a condenser, a thermostat, a start relay and a lid gasket. Older models built that way often outlast the kitchen fridge, and the parts that fail on them are usually inexpensive.
If a chest freezer is warm and silent, check the outlet first, especially a GFCI outlet in a basement, which can trip without anyone noticing. If power is fine, the thermostat or the start relay is next.
If it hums but stays warm, the start relay or capacitor may not be getting the compressor going. A compressor that has truly failed is a bigger repair, and on an old freezer we'll tell you whether it's worth it.
Upright and kitchen freezers have more parts: fans, defrost systems and door gaskets. Two requests further down this page, from Arlington, show the kind of trouble they get: frost building near the door of a Sub-Zero, and an LG that couldn't hold temperature.

Frequently asked questions
Freezer Repair in Annandale, VA FAQ
Can someone come fix my freezer today in Annandale?
We're based in Alexandria, about 8 miles from Annandale. Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the technician route has open windows; call or book online for the earliest option. Appointments cost the same on weekdays, evenings and weekends - our hours run 8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, all at one standard rate.
Many freezer repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
How much does it cost to fix a freezer in Annandale?
Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Defrost components, fans and gaskets are the frequent, affordable repairs; sealed-system faults cost more and get an honest verdict. Diagnosis first, quote before work - and because frozen stock is on the clock, freezer calls in Annandale, VA are eligible for same-day priority. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
What freezer problems do you fix in Annandale?
Common calls include freezer not freezing, frost buildup, ice maker issues, temperature swings, door gasket leaks and fan noise. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
Is it worth repairing an old chest freezer?
Often. A thermostat, start relay or lid gasket costs far less than a new freezer. If the compressor has failed or there's a refrigerant leak, a new freezer usually makes more sense. We'll give you the number either way.
My basement freezer stopped and the outlet is dead. What should I do?
Look for a tripped GFCI outlet nearby, often in the laundry area or a bathroom, and reset it. If the freezer runs again, keep an eye on it; a GFCI that keeps tripping can mean moisture or a fault in the freezer's wiring.
Should I try to fix the freezer myself first?
Worth checking yourself: the temperature setting, a door seal that may have a gap, and any frost blocking the interior vents. Defrost components and sealed-system parts are technician territory - chipping at ice with tools is how liners and refrigerant lines get punctured.
